Thumbs up [SOLVED] Dell Latitude D600 touchpad dreadfully slow


SOLUTION: Switched to Lenny, and the kernel stuff for laptops seems to be light years ahead of 2.4. Laptop works 10x better.

The title says it all. I'm really digging Etch, but the default install left the touchpad dragging ass. It takes 4 to 5 swipes to get the cursor across the screen.

Please enlighten me.

EDIT: Requesting to be moved to the proper forum. DUH ME!
